Yeahhh. Today's goal was 18,333 so i was planning on writing all day long. Because It's sunday guys. You don't leave your house on a sunday, It's not normal. But again, us writers are defined by many words: creative, distracted, loner, nuts... but normal? nope.
I went to a party yesterday, and got there late because I decided to stop at a Café and write until my laptop had no batery. I left my main character in a underground room, learning how to handle a gun, because she's a badass and that's what badasses do. She had to learn many names of guns and their parts.
Guess what? I don't know a thing about guns.
So, the tip is: Get properly informed.
If your character is in a car race, learn all about races. Learn the parts of the car and how do a race car looks. because, you can't say your character opened the door of the car. Race cars don't have any! Or, if you have a super smart character (Smarter than yourself) then hang out with a friend that says smart things of have him explain about certain topics.
Because if you don't, you'll find yourself watching YouTube tutorials at the middle of the night, just like me. But still, there are some things you can't make up. I need a real feeling in this part of my manuscript, it's kinda like an important moment.
So, tomorrow I will learn how to shoot. Me. I will shoot a real gun with real bullets.
Because writing is not just sitting and typing. Is an adventure.
Live your manuscripts guys. At least, that's what I do.
